Halperin: No Liberal Bias In Saying Exclusion Of God From DNC Platform No Big Deal

Methinks the MSMer doth protest too much. If Mark Halperin weren't keenly aware that he was about to try to whitewash a huge vulnerability for the Democrats, why would he have prefaced his remark with the disclaimer that he and others weren't showing liberal bias by claiming it was no big deal?

But that's exactly what Halperin did this on today's Morning Joe. The show rolled a rolled of the DNC delegates clearly voting against putting God and Jerusalem-as-the-capital-of-Israel back in the platform from which they had been removed. We then saw the convention chairman fraudently declare that two-thirds had in fact voted to reinsert the language. But there was Halperin, claiming "I don't think it's liberal bias to say that the story is pretty much done."

What amazes me is the RNC is not capitalizing on this...

I'm amazed that you're amazed. They are right in character, pursuing their long established pattern of FAIL.

Hahaha! Wishful thinking. It's not over until WE say it's over. I truly hope the Republicans feature that spectacle in an ad.

“I’m amazed that you’re amazed. They are right in character, pursuing their long established pattern of FAIL.”

No, you are right...what’s the definition of insanity, in this case, seeing the same pattern of behavior over and over again, and expecting to see something different the next time...
